Thomas Hutchinson+FollowI Wish SNAP Covered Baby FoodI just had my baby. The doctor recommended baby cereal and specialty formula. But SNAP doesn’t cover baby food — only WIC does. And when I applied, they told me the waitlist was two months. I stood in the formula aisle staring at prices: $38 per can. I almost cried. Any time I mention that SNAP should cover baby food, people say, “That’s your responsibility.” Yes, it is. But new mothers also need support. I’m not asking for luxury — just for my baby not to go hungry.** #ShowUsTheBill #SNAP #BabyFormulaCrisis #NewMomStruggles51106Share
